I predict a riot: sociology symposium on 15 October

It is now nearly two months since the extraordinary riots which ran for several nights in parts of London and other English cities, and debate continues on what happened, why it happened and what lessons might be learned in case something similar threatens to happen again.

The event runs from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Attendance costs £10 (concessions £5, plus a few free places for those unable to pay) to be paid on the door by cash or cheque. The symposium is open to anyone but places are limited so please contact birmingham15october2011@gmail.com to reserve your place.
